Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unleashed her lawyer on a former campaign aide who wrote a book about her victory over former Congressman Joseph Crowley.
Ocasio-Cortez’s legal counsel sent a cease and desist letter to Latino activist Ramon Ramirez for his self-published memoir titled “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: The Democrats’ Surprise.”
“I’m surprised,” Ramirez told The Post about receiving the legal threat. “I didn’t say anything against her. I never said anything against her agenda.”
The author added that he only sold “about 160 books.”
The cease and desist letter claims that “The Democrats’ Surprise” and a second book Ramirez has written, “seek to profit off the Congresswoman’s name and likeness, without her involvement or permission.”

The letter demands that he remove the book from Amazon and other platforms.
The Post reported in March that the book cast Ocasio-Cortez’s upset victory over former Crowley in starkly ethnic terms.
In recounting the defeat of Crowley, the son of Irish immigrants, Ramirez crows: “We stripped the Celtic king of a crown that he had received without political or community merit.”
